Le Jardin de l'Echauguette

Southern Corsica


This cheerful restaurant, downstairs from Sartène's main square, centres on a dreamy walled garden terrace, overhung by trees. Linger over rich Corsican specialities like beignets de courgette (zucchini fritters), cannelloni with Brocciu cheese, or veal stew.
